System events shows log message 'User daemon_admin added IPv4 firewall local in policy 1 from cmdbsvr

Description

This article describes the case when system events show the log message 'User daemon_admin added IPv4 firewall local in policy 1 from cmdbsvr'.

Scope

FortiGate 7.2.x.

Solution

When FortiGate has a firewall local-in-policy, after the FortiGate reboot, there is an event log created as below:

date=2023-06-23 time=18:08:52 eventtime=1687523865000462096 tz="+0530" logid="0100032172" type="event" subtype="system" level="notice" vd="root" logdesc="IPv4 firewall local in policy added" user="daemon_admin" ui="cmdbsvr" seq="1" dintf="dmz" saddr="Dialup_range" daddr="all" act="accept" status="enable" iptype="ipv4" msg="User daemon_admin added IPv4 firewall local in policy 1 from cmdbsvr"

This log message in System event logs is an expected behavior and is generated when rebooting the firewall system processes which will load the config from CMDB to memory, and add the local-in-policy.
